Comrade Danfulani Ohinoyi Lukman in his sallah message today said that Kogi as a state is at a critical political crossroads that requires Muslims across the state to pray for the state more than ever before.
Danfulani who also stressed the need for Kogi as a State to re-invent and set her priorities right, said that as
a state, Kogi must also take more pro-active measures that would help us confront multi-faceted problems of
kidnappings, armed robberies, arms proliferation, unemployment, youth restiveness and decaying infrastructure if confidence and faith in the unity of the state must be restored.
He said, “We ask the Almighty Allah to make our leaders a leader that will honour agreements whether written or verbal, whether documented or otherwise, so that we can collectively nurture a God-fearing society with sound moral values, ethics and rule of law.
“At this year’s celebration, we need more prayers and total dedication now than ever before. Kogi State is at a critical
political crossroads coupled with our prostrate economy.
“We need leadership to be strong and also prepare to address the greater challenges confronting the state at the moment.
“We must be bold to tell the truth in the interest of our State and her people. Our dear state needs capable and
result-driven leadership to steer the ship of state in the emerging new state order which places premium on
breaking new grounds to create opportunities for our teeming population.”
“As we speak, the civil servants situation of the state is nothing to write home about as most of our Civil servants are still yet to be paid their salaries. The spate of kidnappings, armed robberies, arms proliferation, unemployment, youths restiveness and decaying infrastructure calls for worry particularly in a society where the moral values have taken a nose dive.
